Perry: Obama is ‘Soft,’ Not The American People

In an exclusive interview, Rick Perry spoke to Carl Cameron about his record on immigration, the death of Anwar al-Awlaki, and Obama’s comments that Americans are “soft.”

Perry defended his strong record on immigration in Texas. He said that the problem is that the federal government has failed to secure the border, so as governor he has to deal with the problem.

He said that since illegal immigrants had already crossed the border, he had two options: to kick them to the curb or to educate them. The Texas legislature overwhelmingly voted to educate them. He said the real issue that people need to focus on is securing the border, which President Obama will not do.
